 focuses national attention on our leadership in developing wireless technology to network everyday devices such as the millions of vending machines in America," said Mr. Jensen. "It highlights how our patented technology is driving new business opportunities and revenues for global brand customers such as MasterCard, Coca-Cola and many others."

MasterCard caught the US vending industry by surprise when it announced a partnership with the Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Company A bottling company is a commercial enterprise whose output is the bottling of beverages for distribution.

The deployment in Philadelphia, which began this week, is the single biggest installation of cashless and contactless vending machines in vending industry history.

The USA Technologies Chairman also discussed with CBS the historic relationship formed between his company, MasterCard and Coca-Cola Philadelphia to break open the $40 billion vending opportunity to cashless transactions.

Recent industry surveys show that consumers want to use their credit cards for making small purchases, and on average consumers will purchase 50 percent more product and make multiple purchases from vending machines when given the credit card option.

"We live in a cashless marketplace and MasterCard and Coke Philadelphia are teaming up with USA Technologies to give customers what they want - convenience, speed and security of credit card transactions at vending machines," said Mr. Jensen. "MasterCard chose our e-Port to accept its PayPass 'Tap & Go' payment system, and Coca-Cola Philadelphia is providing the vending machines. We are teaming with global industry giants to change the vending marketplace," he said.

The e-Port G6 is the only technology to accept not only MasterCard's PayPass, but all forms of contactless card payment, including Visa's Contactless, American Express' ExpressPay, and Chase Bank's Blink. The G6 also accepts traditional mag-stripe cards and cash to cover every method of payment.
